In this match, Karim Benzema shined with a double. His first goal came in the 24th minute. Receiving the ball in the penalty area, the former Real Madrid star beat a defender before unleashing a shot that beat goalkeeper Mosquera.

After opening the scoring, Al Ittihad continued to attack but could not find a second goal before the end of the first half. In the second half, Benzema showed his class again with a good combination. He coordinated one touch with Aboud, then broke free and finished coolly, leaving Mosquera with no chance to block.

Benzema left the pitch in the 57th minute with a fitness problem, but Al Ittihad still increased their lead. The third goal came from an own goal by Al Baqawi, who failed to clear the ball under pressure from Al Ittihad's strikers.

Al Ittihad's 3-0 win over Al Feiha puts Benzema and his teammates on the brink of winning the Saudi Arabian title this season. The team can officially celebrate today if Al Hilal lose to Al Orobah at home.

Benzema's brace against Al Feiha also helped him close the gap with Cristiano Ronaldo (21 goals) to two goals in the race for the Saudi Pro League's top scorer. The French striker has 21 goals, the same as Al Shabab's Abderrazak Hamdallah.

If Benzema wins the SPL this year, he will be crowned champion in a tournament in Saudi Arabia for the first time since joining. Al Ittihad's squad also includes many stars who have played in Europe such as N'Golo Kanté, Houssam Aouar and Fabinho.
